ABBA, in no particular order: SOS, Knowing Me, Knowing You and Super Trouper. I didn't like ST when it first charted but it's grown on me over the last forty years.

Blondie, again no particular order: Call Me, Heart Of Glass, Sunday Girl.

Abba: One of us and,
Thank you for the music, my DD put it on repeat whilst I was in hospital having DC2 and my Mum couldn't operate the cd player, so played for hours and is a form of torture apparently Grin

Blondie has to be Union City Blues

@Jojoanna snap on ABBA song!

BonnyandPoppy · 26/06/2021 21:41

My favourite Abba song has always been "I wonder (Departure)"

Griefmonster · 26/06/2021 21:41

Abba - name of the game
Blondie - any and all but seeing a couple of people mention Dreaming has reminded me how much I love that song.

WildRosie · 26/06/2021 21:49

'Dreaming' features some very inventive and energetic percussives from Clem Burke. Must have worn him out.

Oh it’s the drums that I love. Anything on Parallel Lines. I play it too much and have to have breaks every now and then.Grin

OhBiscuits · 26/06/2021 21:58

ABBA - The Winner Takes it All, Lay All Your Love On Me, SOS

Blondie - Atomic and Heart of Glass (I had H of G on my MySpace page in about 2005 Grin)

Rockbird · 26/06/2021 22:01

Clem Burke is one of the best drummers in rock, never got the acclaim he deserves.

I've narrowed my favourite Blondie tracks down to one album, Plastic Letters. So good to see tracks from it on here.

LeanneBrownsLonelyBraincell · 26/06/2021 22:05

Abba: my love, my life or Dance While The Music Still Goes On

Blonde, it's got to be Dreaming

WildRosie · 26/06/2021 22:07

Clem Burke played drums for Eurythmics for a spell in the 1980s.

Abba.... the name of the game or the day before you came
Blondie.... (I'am always touched) by your presence dear

Cocolapew · 26/06/2021 22:25

Blondie - The Tide is High, Sunday Girl (especially the version all in French), Island of Lost Souls,

Imissmoominmama · 26/06/2021 22:37

Name of the Game and Picture This.

BestIsWest · 26/06/2021 22:38

Have to say I adored both ABBA and Blondie back in the 70s. I was 15 in 1978 and played both Parallel Lines and ABBA The Album to death. Blondie did edge out ABBA as being cooler and I probably wouldn’t have admitted to liking ABBA in public though.

This came up in my FB memories today 😊

You lucky bugger! I have seen them so many times but never managed a meet.

He was just wandering around the merchandise table Smile. I walked past Chris outside but it didn't register at first and then I was too shy to go back again Hmm
The closest I got to Debbie was touching her hand when she was onstage. I'd probably cry if I met her 😂

ToffeeNotCoffee · 27/06/2021 00:23

ABBA - Angel Eyes

Blondie - Call me
